Call me old school: I enjoy news that's either useful or challenging. News should be calisthenics for brain cells. If there's a low cost preventive treatment that saves the lives of babies? Cool, I'll write that up. Good news helps people make intelligent decisions.

Wikinews is people who write news they care about; the site isn't out to sell eyeballs to advertisers. And maybe that's a smart approach that can work.

WikiVoices holds chats in text and voice via Skype, including recorded sessions, to bring people together in discussion and content creation.

WikiVoices began at English Wikipedia as "Not the Wikipedia Weekly". Now it's housed at Meta under a new name to give all Wikimedia Foundation projects an equal footing. If you'd like to hold a WikiVoices session to discuss Wikinews or create a new article collaboratively, let me know. I'll be glad to help new participants get started.
